Utilizing Data from the KAP COVID Survey to Increase Vaccine Confidence and Reinforce Prevention Behaviors

Now that vaccine distribution is underway in many countries and COVAX has delivered its first vaccines, public health practitioners are shifting priorities to focus on increasing vaccine confidence and ensuring people continue to follow preventive behaviors like handwashing and social distancing.

This upcoming webinar will examine these topics using data from the recently updated KAP COVID dashboard (https://ccp.jhu.edu/kap-covid/), a visualization of survey data from 67 countries on knowledge, attitudes and practices around COVID-19. Simultaneous French interpretation will be available.

Panelists will contextualize data from Egypt and Pakistan that reflect varying trends within one WHO region. This example can be adapted to any country with data on the dashboard. Participants will also learn how social norms—or the unwritten rules that guide behavior—contribute to the development of messages and interventions around prevention and vaccine uptake. For example, if someone believes that at least 50% of people in their community would accept a vaccine, does that affect the individual's behavior? Panelists will provide insights on how to use the data from the KAP COVID dashboards to help drive COVID-19-related decision-making at the country level.
